Mr.. Summers, a musical and dramatic
agent, said that the concert season Just ended
had not been profitable one The craze to
get before the public on the part of amateurs
had been so great that professional musical
business had been seriously injured. Only
yesterday beautiful young girl came with
her mother to see him. She was SO anxious
TO get position where she could be seen be
hind the fOOtlightS that she offered Mr. Sum
mels all the salary she received during the
first three months if he would secure an en-
gagement for her Mr.. Summers said that
the best paid musical talent was in the
minstrel and balled-singing line on the va
rlety stage. A good ballad singer, he said,
could command a salary of $50 week and
lose no time. Entertainments in the inter
est of lodges, Mr.. Summers said, were more
profitable than those for the benefit OF
churches. The churches he said, were not
willing to pay; they wanted singers to vol
unteer their services. One church which
paid its pastor $4,000 per year wanted a
tenor to take charge of the choir at rehears-
ais on Saturdays, sing twice on Sunday and
lead the Sunday school music. In addition
to this he would be expected to lead the de
votlOnal music in prayer meetings once a
week. For all this work he was offered $500
year Mr. Summers said that the Catholic
churches paid living wages to their singers.

HOME HINTS.

Finger bowls of finest engraved white
glass are superseding on fashionable tables
those Of rainbow hues.
Willow furniture is best cleaned With
boiling water made strong with ammonia
and applied with a whisk broom.
Put tea and coffee away in air-tight re-
ceptacles as soon as they are brought to
the house. They lose much Of their favor
by standing uncovered.
Kid bedspreads, made out of the backs
and wrists of discarded gloves, are the
latest fad with women who have little TO
do and fancy for that sort of thing.
At fashionable breakfasts griddle-cakes
are served, but the old-fashioned cakes
would scarcely recognize themselves un-
der the title of griddle-buttons"
Do not place raw meat directly on ice,
for the juices are apt to be Withdrawn.
They should never be left in the wrapping
paper. Put them in an uncovered earthen
dish and then set them on the ice
Vegetables, with strong flavor, such rs
onions and turnips, will be much improved
by putting them TO boil in cold water, re-
mhxing this from kettle of boiling water
Poisonous wounds made by spiders. cen
tipedes and scorpions are treated in the
same way as those made by insects, that ia,
by the direct application of hartshorn to
the wound and, when necessary, internal
stimulants.
An easy way to clean not only windows
but mirrors and showcases, is to rub them
with dampened whiting until all soiled
spots are removed Let the whiting dry
on the glass; then rub it off with a dry
cloth or soft paper, and the glass will be
very clean and have nice polish.
Finger bowls are always in fashion, be-
ing too great convenience to be dis
pensed with. These are quite as necessary
for small dinner as for large one, and
are also in order at any meal where fruit
is eaten. The usual plan is to lay small
napkin or plate OF small or medium size
and place the finger bowl on this. There
, should be one finger bowl for each guest.
1t is a great improvement 10 cucumbers
to slice them very thin an hour or two be-
fore they are wanted and set away to cool
in dish of ice water The water draws
out their bitterness and makes them very
| appetizing. Instead of pouring vinegar
over, send them to the table with bits OF
ice in the dish, then, as served, each per-
son can apply vinegar or not as liked.
Many prefer them with salt alone.-Mrs.

An excellent breakfast dish, If one has
time to prepare it, is corn f1tters. The
ears of corn vary 50 much in size l can
hardly tell how many will be requisite to
make two teacupfuls when grated. A trial
| will soon determine it. To this amount
add two well-beaten eggs, two teacupfuls
sweet milk, one tablespoonful melted but
ter, little salt, one teaspoonful baking
powder and flour enough to make batter
for frying on the griddle, or fry in pork fat
like doughnuts.

| HoRsE LAUaHs AT Irs DR1vEn.

A HORSE LAUGHS AT Irs DRIvER.-
Whether horse can laugh is, l believe, 4
disputed question among men of science,
says Boston Post correspondent, but that
horse has a sense of humor was apparent
TO me in the action of one recently. The
animal, which was attached to an express
wagon, had shown a balky disposition,
and, despite coaxing and whipping, re-
fused to bulge. To overcome his obstinacy,
rope fastened to his wagon was tied to
another which had been placed in front,
and the horse attached to the vehicle was
whipped up vigorously. He started With
will, but instead Of pulling the second
wagon after him, the rope attached to it
broke and left it standing. happened to
be looking on at the time and noticed an
expression on the balky horses face which
was as near an approach to laugh as
ever expect TO see on an equine counten-
ance. 1t was even more expressive than a
laugh, for it was a sardonic smile of COM
placency, as if to say, " / could do better
than that myself" And right on the
heels so to speak, of this facial humor,
the horse started off vigorously with his
load
